Research direction

Start by reading cabal-install/bash-completion/cabal around lines 147-152 and identify what the `new-*` entries complete. Check whether those commands are still supported by the current cabal-install interface, then update the completion definition if needed. Done means the completion behavior matches the commands that the project still exposes.
